Course Overview

This course enables students to further develop media knowledge and skills while designing and producing projects in the areas of live, recorded, and graphic communications. Students may work in the areas of TV, video, and movie production; radio and audio production; print and graphic communications; photography; digital imaging; broadcast journalism; and interactive new media. Students will also expand their awareness of environmental and societal issues related to communications technology, and will investigate career opportunities and challenges in a rapidly changing technological environment.


TGJ4M students plan and work on independent projects, with a personal plan determined between the student and the teacher. Weekly journals are maintained which are used for reflection, documenting “deliverables”, and planning.
